[@Beggars.]

Drop D djent is just groovy metalcore. Jokes aside, this slayed. Reminds me of the glory days of drop D when The Devil Wears Prada and other bands played it. Even Lamb of God ventured into other tunings, but still bring back the D every so often.

[@Zainmhz]

yea drop d is super rare this day, plagues era of tdwp is a banger. and thanks btw!

[@weaintfriendsweaintfriends7346]

come on, its only one tone higher than half of periphery songs

[@cyntdestroyer69xd]

@@weaintfriendsweaintfriends7346 Still, technically, higher

[@weaintfriendsweaintfriends7346]

@@cyntdestroyer69xd I respect you for your profile pic

[@destianpatrianagara1119]

As someone who never tune lower than drop D and Eb standard, this is like a breath of fresh air.

[@Zainmhz]

whoa that's rare these day, as everyone going lower and lower

[@destianpatrianagara1119]

@@Zainmhz I mainly play boomer metal lol, the only "modern" bands I often jam to are LoG and Sylosis (well not really, they've been around for a long time.)

[@destianpatrianagara1119]

Also because I only own two guitars, one in drop D and the other in half step down. I don't have the guitar to play lower than those as I prefer to play with smaller gauged strings.

[@vonicrimson3619]

@@Zainmhz I play mainly drop D but my band plays Drop B/A# and is moving to 7 strings to play like Drop G#

[@Zainmhz]

@@destianpatrianagara1119 sylosis is so great, i still amazed how Josh can play such complicated guitar parts while sing on top of it.
me too going back too higher tunings as i don't have 7 string anymore.

[@hotbullets2die]

Drop D is underrated, proven by Zainmhz.

[@Zainmhz]

thanks! it's surely underrated by today standard. now everyone tune their guitar lower and lower

[@DennisPlaysBass]

Great riffs dude! Good job
I thought that it was gonna be Drop D an octave lower, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear these riffs in the "good old" Drop D. haha

[@Zainmhz]

Thanks dude! Just want to bring back the classic Drop D, when everyone tuned their guitars to Drop Z haha

[@DarkoPorsche]

Totally agreeing on that :) Really cool solo

[@Supremium1990]

The note selections for the solo were really interesting, not just mindless shredding. I really liked this.

[@Zainmhz]

Thank you! I’m not really a “shredder” ,can barely do a sweep haha

[@nanogon7767]

That guitar riff is really good, but I gotta say the mixing and mastering on this is immaculate. Mozz project did an amazing job on it 👌

[@Zainmhz]

thank you so much!! it actually my project! had to put it under proper "company" name

[@LMathDuarte]

Its amazing congrats

[@juliensaulas4747]

You can get djenty tones on many tunings : controlled basses and a boost around 1250-1600 hz before the gain stages, and it will bring the "ringyness" we like about low tuned guitars... I think people tend to tune too low, taking the bass role ... Thank you for your excellent vid. Heavyness is in the playing and eq more than in tuning. Congrats !

[@Zainmhz]

agreed! it's all about the tone (and the riff of course), not the tuning, but lower tuning definitely a "bonus point" on this whole djenty world

[@matthewjameslives]

I feel like I learned so much seeing you cut to cranking the gain for the chugs there

[@SpencerrWinterr]

Gate

[@cubeslice]

He turned the gate to zero, which basically turns the threshold for cutting off sound much higher so you get tighter chugs

[@Zainmhz]

Yes Dylan Lee is right, but you won't crank it to zero cause it will kill most of your signal, i just did it for the meme haha

[@cubeslice]

@@Zainmhz yeah not zero but lower lol, sick riff!

[@colonel482]

Music for my soul 💙 2010 memories are flooding back to me. Will be back for more 🤘

[@Zainmhz]

Glad to fulfill your nostalgia!

[@moldy_burrito_]

Gotta say i wasn't expecting too much and clicked the video on a bored whim...
But God damn bro, im glad I did. Dems is some nice riffs ya go there boi.

[@Zainmhz]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@SB-ew3bk]

I like how in drop D you can still hear the clarity of the note when palm muting the lowest string, like at 1:55

[@Zainmhz]

yeah drop D is the perfect tuning for metal, chugs and riff always so clear to hear

[@ChLyricsyt]

@@Zainmhz that's why i love the first Asking Alexandria album.
Nice Job Dude!
Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷🤘

[@Zainmhz]

@@ChLyricsyt that album slap! it accompanied my entire high school days . and thanks dude!

[@ChrisDo-sm1nm]

you know it’s good when i listen to this on a daily basis. nice job dude!

[@Zainmhz]

thank you so much!! really appreciate it!

[@Gaahlttor]

I’ve been playing in drop d since I first started playing guitar but I bought a 7 string last month and I’ve been playing it in drop g, this makes me wanna go back to my 6 string drop d

[@Zainmhz]

Since extended range guitar became so common nowadays, playing higher tuning feels like kinda nostalgic

[@neonnerd1364]

I might do some vocals to this just for myself lol. This is absolutely rad.

[@Zainmhz]

That’d be sick! And thank you!

[@Nairod-ks6ne]

0:54 idk why I feel some post apo vibes and i love it

[@Zainmhz]

Glad you love it!

[@JohnDofficial]

Hell yea man! I use Archetype Nolly on basically everything these days.

[@vexedpixels]

Nolly is so easy to get any tone you want out of. i have most of the Neural plug-ins but if i’m going for metal, acoustic, or math rock, or anything i’m unsure of i’ll start on Nolly 100%

[@JohnDofficial]

@@vexedpixels Right on, same here. I'll use Archetype Gojira if I need to heavy on the distortion or Tim Henson for some more effects. But almost always end up back to Nolly.

[@Zainmhz]

yeah its the Most versatile plugin among all Neural Dsp catalog, can do pretty much everything. love the Gojira too.

[@cubeslice]

Yeah I just bought Tim Henson as well, Nolly perfect for anything dirty and "metal cleans" and Tim Henson perfect for anything where you can actually hear dynamics

[@Zainmhz]

@@cubeslice haven't tried Tim Henson's, from review videos i watched, it seems pretty good.

[@L3ZC]

I can't listen to this in Drop D without imagining a Lamb Of God song

[@Zainmhz]

The GOAT, their riffs are so iconic

[@kennyparker8644]

Cool! I love drop D. Because it’s really easy tune strings😂

[@Zainmhz]

yeah you can't go wrong with Drop D

[@lesliejohn9061]

dangggg this is super awesome dude! beautiful songwritting!

[@Zainmhz]

Hey thank you so muchh!!

[@Regressor13]

That solo is insanely tasteful. Amazing job!

[@Zainmhz]

Thank you so much! I can’t “shred” so that’s all i got

[@Xephinroth]

[@Zainmhz]

Thanks dude! i hopefully so!

[@jethoutdoors2046]

FOCK YEAH!!! DJENT DJENT DDJENT! Great riff man! 🤙🤘

[@Zainmhz]

Thanks man!

[@seancole2727]

NICE... i think people forget that the guitar is a Mid range instrument, its place in the mix is between the bass and vocals. When you drop so low that your no longer in the spot, so you crank gain and volume to punch through.

[@seancole2727]

A good example is Mark Tremonti. He plays mainly in Drop D. Some songs he plays Drop C( But he has a VERY custom hybrid baritone that he play it with. So basically he tunes a baritone up), and some open tunings as well.
And he has a BRUTAL tone.

[@Zainmhz]

@@seancole2727 just checked Mark Tremonti, he got very creative songwriting! and i agreed with guitar being in mid range frequencies on the mix

[@cynicald380]

Nice!! I almost misread as double drop D waiting for it to go down an octave.. Just goes to show how ingrained Djent and super low tuning is!

[@Zainmhz]

thanks! it's just classic Drop D tuning, kinda against the stereotypical djent with the ultra low tuning

Saya suka musicnya bro, serasa denger Novelist FR

[@Zainmhz]

thanks bro! novelist keren sih

[@13_cmi]

The best chugs are in drop d and as low as drop c. Aggressive muting with that right hand gets some chunky gnarled chugs. Groovy stuff is best in low tuning a for me though.

[@Zainmhz]

Couldnt agree more with you, lower than C fast chug can get muddy and lost its “bites”

[@WesleyKhalil]

Great riffs! It reminded me of Impulse Crush, by Ithaca. Great tone, also.
